    Controller fails to update, even though I already updated it!


    I updated the controller to work with the headset adapter. Which I did successfully.

    But now when I turn on the controller or plug the adapter in, xbone prompts me to update the controller, again!

    So I say yes update, and update fails. Obviously cuz I have it already.

    If I say no, then controller becomes unresponsive with a flashing white X, unless I unplug the headset adapter which fixes it.

    I can then plug the adapter back in and it will work. SO annoying!!

    Any ideas??

    :)

    XB1 failing to update

    So i just got my new XBox out of the box today. It keeps requiring me to do updates and remains at 0% forever, and afterwards noticing that it fails to update. It's already connected to the internet though.

    What should I do? The option is either updating or to turn off the XBox meanwhile it's won't even update.

  6. mine didnt even do a first update but our problems sound very similar. I have tried everything as well and nothing. The controller does work with the adapter plugged in although only when connected via USB. without it i get horrible static. This is just
    getting ridiculous. I wish every unsolved complaint was some money out os MS profits. That would teach them to get their crap together. bunch of money hungry douches that have no consideration whatsoever for the people buying their products. And they will
    never care because the are still making billions regardless.

    end of rant.

    Xbox Headset stuck on mute...and now the Stereo adapter is also stuck on mute

    Fixed it..i think.

    Plug the adapter with the controller and update the controller again using the micro usb. no batteries. I think the servers were having issues w/ the update earlier since i got an error of failed update. even though i updated the controllers yesterday.
